    A stretch of mediocre ball and Larry is back to the clown posts. The IQ on this forum really has dropped.
  2. Bellhorn04
    The science here is faulty though Max because it's overly simplified. It's not just the number of chances, it's the difficulty of the chances and the skills that are required to make them. A center fielder often has to make a long run to catch the ball, get a fast start, take the correct route, leap, dive, extend his body etc. The advanced fielding stats try to take all this stuff into account.

    Don't go out on a limb now.

    The Red Sox obviously didn't tank, with one of the highest payrolls every year since Henry bought the team.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Wow, that's f***ed up. Especially a guy who had already missed so much time with injury.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, it irritates me too, and I think it irritates a lot of fans to see tanking gain so much traction as a team-building strategy.

    JBJ not in the lineup tonight either...
  8. Bellhorn04
    Except Bradley's numbers were horrible for the second half of 2017 as well. He's in a very long slump, and we're talking about a guy who has had long slumps before.
  9. Bellhorn04
    The benching started before last night. He sat out 2 games against the Yanks and one against the Jays. He knows what the situation is.
  10. Bellhorn04
    What about the idea that he didn't want JBJ to lose whatever confidence he might have gained with a decent game the day before?
  11. Bellhorn04
    So just leave Swihart to rot on the bench so there's no possibility he can get any better and help us out later on in the season. Doesn't seem like very good managing.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Hanley's career BABip is .322, so 2017 was an anomaly. And he has 3 HR in his last 5 games. We'll see about the rest of the year, but he's been good so far.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Let's be reasonable. Moreland has a .992 OPS and 20 RBI in 29 games. Bogaerts has an .870 OPS and 18 RBI in 25 games. Hanley has an .806 OPS and 28 RBI in 36 games.
  14. Bellhorn04
    I agree 100%. Cora wants to get JBJ on a bit of a positive run at the plate so it makes perfect sense to sit him against Manaea.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Yes, that's true, you have said that. Very few people would agree that you can have an everyday player hitting .100. Managers can't please everyone no matter what they do.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Of course, if JBJ wasn't flailing most of the season Cora wouldn't have to think about whether to start him against a tough lefty or not. You can't just let JBJ off the hook for his situation.
  17. Bellhorn04
    The 11-11 isn't a big deal in itself. Porcello looking bad 2 starts in a row is more of a concern.
  18. Bellhorn04
    We're 28-12 and we haven't hit any good pitchers?
  19. Bellhorn04
    Strained back does indeed sound like a classic phantom DL injury. But as noted that doesn't make sense in this case.
  20. Bellhorn04
    When that pitch is thrown exactly the way the pitcher wants to throw it, right? I mean, if Hitter X simply couldn't hit a slider, period, no matter if it was a great one or a lousy one, pitchers would throw him nothing but sliders and he'd strike out every time.
  21. Bellhorn04
    You left out the .500 OBP.
  22. Bellhorn04
    I have to laugh when I hear a major league player can't hit breaking pitches. If it was true they wouldn't have made it this far.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Funny how you never show up after the Sox bullpen has a great game. Also funny that you haven't said anything about Kelly, one of your Three Stooges, now having a 2.33 ERA and a WHIP of .93.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I'm totally with you on this one dgale. I am perfectly comfortable with letting Alex Cora figure out the daily lineup card. I just assume he knows what he's doing and there are plenty of other things to quibble about LOL
  25. Bellhorn04
    I understand this point of view. Personally I like Mookie up first because I want him to get more chances than anyone else.
